Thanks.
I fixed it by changing the font settings

In-game the dialog shows up as red text on top of black text.
The red is over the top of the black text and is the same text.
What is wrong?

My favorite is "mannequin."
Nice horror game.

Especially if you're using a certain color for transparency, if that color isnt 100% "pure" in all areas where you want transparency, those areas will create "artifacts". Use a color picker with info to make sure all transparent pixels have the same value (I used to make that mistake often).

How do you process your characters?

Thanks for going to play it.  I like the documentary format and if the feedback is good enough, I will continue making them.

I updated the file and link.  I made font and gui changes to the game.  Some sprite work. 2-11-2011

Afraid I always work in 32bit.  I still run into problems.
It is after importing from my paint program that the artifacts and transparency get funky.
I use Gimp.

I noticed AGS doesn't handle character editing well.
Examples: one imports a png image and find that artifacts occur.  When edited more artifacts can be created.
Include loss of image quality.
I thnk AGS needs an editor for character sprites, one that helps to prevent artifacts and loss of quality.
The transparency seems to act funky. Especially using photos rather than drawings.

No one seems to be playing it.
It is alot better than Danse Macabre, really.

Thanks for your replies.
I have put this game on hold for awhile to start another game.
The game subject will surprise you.

Thanks for the response

I started with the verb coin template, but I do not want to use it now.
Can I change templates mid-production without starting new game?

I meant sites to upload my finished games for them to be played.  Adventure game sites.

I am not a programmer so I hope this suggestion isn't too dumb or not possible.
I noticed that the character processing system allows artifacts into the transparency.
Any editing of the character causes either or both pink halos around the character or not all of the pink is transparent.
Any way to stop this by redoing the code?

Funny how it is the ones who preach love and forgiveness are the ones who are murdered and despised.

I went by color of the buttons, green is go forward, red is stop or go back.

Sorry I could only get my laptop to save one screenshot.
"Bapu" is an interactive documentary about the life of Mohandus Gandhi.
It's focus is more on the soul of the man rather than a showing of what he did.  Not easy to do!
I am thinking about offering it to the OWN network. I figure Oprah might like it.  It would be cool for her website.
Of course I couldn't accept money for it because it is in honor of Gandhi and not making money.

It will use a green dot to change rooms and a red dot to move to a previous room.  I added a big dot for each room to view a Gandhi quote.
The music for each room is Indian music from the 1920, 1930, and 1940's.
It really is working out well.
I will be starting the dialog for each room this week.  The basic structure is in place now. All the pictures are in place as objects.
I think it is my best work so far.  I still need to get rid of that annoying blue halo around Gandhi's character. Although Gandhi probably has a halo in heaven.  If he doesn't go to heaven who would?

Ags goes up to 1024x768
Yes it would be nice to get 1600x900 which my laptop has.

I will be re-uploading the Sherlock Ripper game probably on Monday.
I made some font changes and I made the small menu bar alot smaller to get it out of the way of the photos.
The photo descriptions are alot readable.

The archive is reuploaded to mediafire.
Has anyone played it.

It is a rar file archive.

Thanks
That might come in handy sometime.

I have played all the games.  I look forward to the new one.

I  am having a hard time finding game sites to upload my games.
Everyone of them I have found the upload does not work.
Is there any I don't know about.
